Me VS 10,000 steps
I’m taking on the Future Steps challenge this February for The King’s Trust – taking on 10,000 steps a day to help transform the lives of young people in the UK.
From the cost of living crisis to an unprecedented lack of opportunity, young people face a range of difficulties in today’s society. The King’s Trust supports young people who have faced disadvantage and adversity to develop the confidence and skills they need to move into work, education and training. A donation of just £10 could fund a call to The King's Trust helpline, enabling a vulnerable young person to gain the critical advice they need.
So, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, walking, running or rolling, it all goes toward supporting the cause. Every step, and every penny, really does count. Please help me to support The King’s Trust by donating to my page.

Tuesday 11th Mar Good morning my fellow Walkers of Stepzerland and contributors! Its the last day of the challenge and I find myself on the train heading for Cardiff .. I am going start my steps journey from .....Watches of Switzerland 🇨🇭 with a nice walk around the castle and a visit to the Millenium Stadium, after that I can't be sure but will most likely involve getting off the train somewhere on the way back , so good luck to all of you today . Step well , get your last fundraising efforts in and above all enjoy yourselves😎 .
Day 27
Monday 10th Mar
February 27th 393,000 steps and counting !
Monday 10th MarGood morning ! Its another beautiful day in Wales blue skies and sunshine , I'm on the train on my way to work .
There are only 2 days left of the steps challenge and it's hard to believe when The Walkers of Stepzerland started on day 1 where it would end up taking us , and myself personally have seen parts of Wales that I've always wanted to see and would like to go , but never got round to for some reason or another .It's been a bit of an eye-opener to see the beauty that is Wales hiding in plain sight 😎

Sunday 9th Mar What a day , myself and Has had the same day off so 1/3 of the Walkers of Stepzerland set off from Castle Square in Swansea all the way step by step to Mumbles Pier, after a wll deserved ice cream it was back to Swansea . I then continued on by train getting off at Pembury and Buryport and stepping in and around the harbour area for about an hour then back on the train to Carmarthen , something to eat and once more to Rose and Crown to watch Liverpool have a comfortable win against Newcastle , and then home 🏡

Friday 7th Mar Today I took a trip out to Aberystwyth on the T1 bus .I was hoping to go to Devil's Gorge on the Vale of Rheidol steam train , sadly it doesn't run until April 5th so some lunch at Weatherspoons , then down to the beach and onwards to walk up Constiution Hill returning to take a quick look at the Castle taking in the pier on the way back past The Angel , down Great dark gate street and back on the bus . Once home I had a bite to eat ,then back in to town to the Rose and Crown , watching Chelsea take apart Southampton 4-0 and then a slightly longer route home 🏡

Swansea Castle
Thursday 6th Mar
February 23rd
Thursday 6th Mar Today is a working day at Goldsmiths in Swansea so the steps relatively take care of themselves. I have bought doughnuts for my fellow steppers Isabella and Dylan.. That's me done for today , as I was walking towards the station home I took a photo of Swansea Castle , then popped into the Grand Hotel to watch the 2nd half of Man City v Liverpool and although after going home I went back into town to the Rose and Crown for the proverbial Guiness there is no photo this time , as I have a policy of only one Guiness photo per post 😂

Ocky Whites travel to see Lindsey , the first to respond to my steps challenge supporting me all the way, then dinner at Waldo's lounge , onto Specsavers hoping to see another friend Sarah , sadly not there , enjoying a weekend off , so it was back on the train home where I watched a valiant effort by Wales come very close to taking down Ireland 😢 finally a trip to The Rose and Crown to round off a lovely day with a couple of pints of Guiness . Probably should be sponsored by them 🤣

Tuesday 4th Mar Today the plan was to take a bus to Llansteffan, go to the beach , visit the castle and then walk back . Turned out it was quite a dangerous road on reflection but I made it safely back even went to the pub later that night finishing with over 25,000 steps

8th February 2025
Sunday 16th FebSaturday steps helped by a day of work and a trip to the pub to watch fa Cup
match gave my best steps daily total so far .
Yesterday was a bit harder going as I was at home and apart from a trip to the local Co op due to lots of sport on the Telly left me with a lot to do and a 6k walk at 9pm is not ideal 😅 I now have broken the 100,000 steps barrier ! Weather looks good for walking , slightly chilly and dry
100,103 steps completed ! Only 180,000 to go
